Abstract: La réactivité entre un allo-antigène et un ligand spécifique à un allo-antigène, tel qu'un anticorps HLA et anti-HLA, peut être détectée dans un échantillon en séparant de l'échantillon une partie d'une classe ciblée de ligands (y compris les ligands formant un complexe avec un allo-antigène) et en mesurant la quantité d'allo-antigènes dans de telles fractions contenant le complexe. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la réactivité entre plusieurs échantillons est détectée en mesurant l'allo-antigène soluble dans au moins des premier et second échantillons biologiques et dans un mélange des échantillons. Etant donné que la formation de complexes immuns aux allo-antigènes dans le mélange modifie le comportement physique et immunologique de l'allo-antigène soluble, une divergence entre la concentration mesurée et la concentration escomptée du mélange indique la réactivité.

Abstract: Electrostatic application of a dusting of dry, electrostatically adherable, thermally insulative powder particles (38) over a workface (6a) of a moving mold in a continuous metal-casting machine in which the mold surface or surfaces which provide the workface or workfaces revolve in a generally oval course. A dry dusting of protective powder particles (38) of refractory material is applied to the workface by being dispensed entrained in a plurality of air streams uniformly spaced across a width of the workface (6a). The air streams are deflected toward the workface by a deflector surface (37), and after being deflected the powder particles are electrostatically charged by suitable electrostatic apparatus (33) prior to contact with the workface (6a). The moving mold having the workface to be dusted is electrically grounded (43) for attracting the electrostatically charged powder particles (39) for adhering them to the workface (6a). The resultant coating formed by the dusting so deposited is remarkably uniform over a substantial area of the workface, a phenomenon explainable by mutual electrostatic repulsion of the dry powder particles being deposited. Continuously re-applied dusting over the workface during a continuous cast provides an immediately useful repair or replacement of dusting powder lost from the coating on the workface of a revolving mold surface during casting. The dusting may be removed at will from the workface by means of an air knife, and then immediately the workface is coated again by electrostatic application of a dry dusting of the protective powder particles.

Abstract: The liquefied gas generator (20) has a housing (18) in which a reaction container (32) with liquefied gas (36) is accommodated. To trigger combustion of the liquefied gas (36) a piercing element (58) having an overflow channel (68) is driven into said container. The kinetic energy for the piercing element (58) is generated pyrotechnically by setting off an igniting element (56). The ignition fumes of the igniting element (56) pass via the overflow channel (68) into the interior of the reaction container (32) where they initiate the combustion of the liquefied gas (36). The resultant combustion gases pass via the overflow channel (68) out of the reaction container (32) into a hollow space (54) in which the piercing element (58) is arranged. The cavity (54) is sealed with respect to a flow-off space (through-hole 30) by means of a bursting membrane (74). This bursting membrane (74) breaks open when a minimum pressure of the combustion gases is reached and, as a result, frees the path for removing the combustion gases from the housing (18) via the flow-off space (through-hole 30). <IMAGE>

IPC: B41J2/525

Abstract: In liquid-ink color graphics printing, incompatible inks, such as true black and color inks, tend to bleed across color field boundaries. Moreover, in four-color systems, there is a discontinuity in the physical color gamut, as distinguished from the logical color gamut, associated with the redundant color black. A method is disclosed for alleviating both problems by correcting image data prior to dithering. The method slightly shifts the logical color indicated in the image data so as to avoid the discontinuity that arises with neutral colors. Preferably, in a four-color printing system, blue is increased (conversely yellow reduced) in the image data, so that after dithering, more dots of color ink are printed in a given area than would be printed otherwise. For each pixel, the amount of correction is inversely proportional to the color saturation. Where the logical data specifies black, the invention has the effect of adding a small amount of blue. The presence of blue ink dots within the substantially black field reduces bleed along the field edges.
